Shang-Chi #1 (of 5) 📕 Unknown Comics

🤊 The Master of Kung Fu’s most important modern chapter begins — Shang-Chi #1 (of 5), Gene Luen Yang and Dike Ruan’s landmark 2021 Marvel limited series that redefined Shang-Chi for the 21st century and gave one of Marvel’s most underserved characters the spotlight debut he’d been waiting decades for. Gene Luen Yang is one of American comics’ most celebrated storytellers — the author of American Born Chinese, the first manga to win the Printz Award, a MacArthur “Genius Grant” recipient, and a creator with a rare gift for rooting superhero stories in specific cultural contexts without ever losing the universal emotional pull that makes great comics work. His Shang-Chi series arrived in the same year as Destin Daniel Cretton’s Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings film, and gave the character a new mythology to match: a secret family of siblings, each bearing an animal totem power, each representing a different inheritance from their complicated father. Dike Ruan’s art is expressive and kinetically choreographed, perfectly matched to the martial arts action and cultural richness Yang’s script demands. For collectors who care about Asian-American representation in superhero comics, Shang-Chi #1 is the essential modern entry point. 🤊 Shang-Chi #1 is the Master of Kung Fu’s new mythology, beginning.

This is Shang-Chi #1 (of 5) — Gene Luen Yang and Dike Ruan’s limited series debut (Marvel Comics, 2021).
